What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (rear shock absorber detachment) that can lead to reduced braking and increased crash risk, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Jeep Cherokee and Ram 1500 vehicles, as well as model year 2015 Chrysler 200 vehicles. The recall involves a total of 20,347 vehicles.
